TIPS FOR BETTER RECEPTION

For the best reception:

• Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible obstacles

between the antenna and the transmission tower.

• If possible, place the antenna near windows.

• Keep the antenna away from sources of interference such as air

conditioners, hair dryers, and microwave ovens.

• Run a channel scan (from your TV's setup menu) every time you move

your antenna.

• If possible, position your antenna toward the transmission tower. To

determine which channels are available in your area, visit

www.antennaweb.org. Type in your zip code to get help with antenna

placement.

• Test the antenna in multiple locations to nd the strongest signal.

• Run a channel scan monthly to make sure that you are receiving all

possible channels.

PROBLEM

some channels and poor

or no reception on others

TV reception I get in my

SOLUTION

• Make sure that you have selected the correct input on your TV.

• Make sure that all your connections are correct and secure.

• Move your antenna, then rescan for available channels on your TV or

set-top box.

set-top box.

• Keep the antenna away from sources of interference, such as air

conditioners, hair dryers, and microwave ovens.

• Your antenna may be too far from the broadcast antenna to receive an

adequate signal. The signal may also be aected by obstructions

between the broadcast antenna and your antenna.

TVs have a signal strength indicator. Check your TV manual to see if your

TV has this feature.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

Not all channels are

available after

performing a channel

scan

I have more than one TV

on which I want to view

over-the-air TV

I am not receiving cable

and streaming channels

after a channel scan

I want HD channels, but I

do not have an HDTV

SOLUTION

• Adjust your antenna, then scan for available channels on your TV or

set-top box.

• Make sure that the signal strength from the antenna is adequate. Some

TVs have a signal strength indicator. See your TV manual to see if your TV

has this feature.

• If the signal is strong enough, you can purchase a coaxial splitter to allow

for one antenna to provide channels to more than one TV.

• You will need to purchase an antenna for each TV that you would like to

view over-the-air TV.

• Your antenna is capable of receiving local channels that are dependent

on the broadcasters in your area.

• You can use the antenna alongside cable boxes and streaming devices,

but it will not provide all of the same content oered by those devices.

• Your digital antenna will not upscale to HD if the TV is not HD. You will

need to purchase an HDTV.
